We had such a fantastic day at Machu Picchu, and we couldn't recommend it more, no matter how many reverse snob travellers tell you they won't go there because its 'too touristy'. Well its touristy for a reason...its incredible, and deservedly one of the wonders of the world. It was such a fantastic experience, and we were still on a high when we took the overnight bus from Cusco the next day down to Nazca. It was a bit of a freaky journey - cutting straight through the Andes on a mostly non-tarmac road, but it was the last long journey we would have to do with Daniel…from then on it was the pan-American highway and beautiful I-could-kiss-you tarmac the whole way!
